Persistent and Nasty

Today Elaine chats with writer/performer Isabelle Farah about her new show, looking back at history, retelling stories, standing against all forms of right-wing terrorism and much more. Isabelle Farah: Nebuchadnezzar- Assembly George Square Studios Dates: 31st JULY - 25th AUGUST (not 12, 19, 20 August) @ 3.10 pm Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/isabelle-farah-nebuchadnezzar Isabelle Farah: Nebuchadnezzar My new (third! THIRD?!) hour. A comedy storytelling hour set in ancient Babylon. About Nebuchadnezzar (Nobu) and Amytis, how they meet, fall in love, how they eventually fall in love despite their differences. There will be silly wigs, silly voices, silly references, irreverences, a eunuch called Jeff, and a happy ending. There might be a song at some point. It's Blackadder meets Aladdin, Monty Python meets Bab al Harra. 31st JULY - 25th AUGUST (not 12, 19, 20 August) Isabel Farah Isabelle is a British Lebanese actor, comedian, and writer.
